Borrowed AI disappears overnight

The model you picked and optimized around gets retired by the provider one morning. The whole cheap tier disappears, and the only survivor is the most expensive one. I could control latency and cost — the foundation was the one thing I didn't control.


Geography is the latency floor you can't move

Make the model faster, quantize it — distance is the one thing that never shrinks. Measuring round-trip times from Tokyo to data centers around the world exposed a floor you can't move: 5ms in Tokyo, 373ms to Cape Town. The biggest lever on latency wasn't performance, it was placement.


How to reduce AWS NAT Gateway costs: 7 ways, ranked by savings

A fine-tuned AI model was a star pupil on the benchmark, then started mixing up subjects and flipping negations the moment I put it into production.

Let another AI write your teacher data

Training a small specialist AI takes "gold data," and everyone assumes people have to write it. At LYR I had a different, larger AI write the right answers instead — and accuracy on Japanese→English, the direction it was worst at, jumped from 42% to 84% on straight imitation alone. The ceiling beyond that is hallucination coming out of the student's (4B) comprehension capacity. The next move for pushing past it is best-of-N — have the teacher write N candidates and pick the good one. This is the methodology for producing teacher data automatically.
